What's Included     * All enclosures with shelves come with secure surface clips and wood screws for exceptional shelf stability for climbing and jumping! Important Details Please review the important information below about this item. Our enclosures are made from durable galvanized steel mesh panels that are then powder coated black to ensure a long-lasting weatherproof finish. Our panels have a 2" square grid pattern that provides safety for your cat, and minimally obstructed views. Floor and Shelves Our shelves and floor are cut to size and made from natural untreated cedar which is naturally resistant to water, bugs, rot, and mold. It is the ideal material choice for outdoor catio shelving and flooring. Please note: Cedar shelves and floor are only included with the PLUS and LUXURY trim packages. Human Entry Doors The doors are 2 feet wide and 5 feet tall (or 3 feet tall on the "Mini" enclosure). This purposely small door is designed this way for a reason. It is installed 4 inches off the ground as well. The door has been tested since 2003 as the most effective way to force the person entering to be mindful of their surroundings. When you enter a door like this, you will naturally be careful of where you step, what is above you, and to the side. All of this awareness has proven time and time again to minimize any would-be kitty escapes during entry. The swing of the door (left or right-hand swing) is adjustable and can be set to either option during assembly. Holes for Tunnels, Towers, Stairs, etc. Component holes are not cut where the tunnels, bridges, stairs, and other components meet the enclosures. Since the mesh is relatively easy to cut on-site during assembly, we leave the choice of where these holes are located up to you so you can position them as you see fit. This also avoids costly mistakes being made and/or accommodates site issues discovered during assembly. But it also allows you to arrange the catio however you see fit! If you purchase a catio that includes tunnels, bridges, stairs, or other components, or if you purchase a catio and component separately, we will automatically include the hand tools needed for cutting an opening. Assembly and Installation Enclosures will arrive partially assembled and flat-packed on a pallet. Assembly is straightforward for anyone who would consider themselves "handy." Paper instructions will be provided. It is recommended that at least two reasonably healthy people are present to install the enclosures. Knowledge of basic carpentry and assembly is helpful. 3-Prong Clips will be provided that secure the enclosure together. In addition, specialty pliers for snugly fitting/closing the clips are also provided with each enclosure order. Once unpacked, you will arrange your enclosure near or on the assembly site. Using provided 3-Prong Clips and specialty pliers, you will connect the edges of your enclosure by setting the edges until you have a completed enclosure. Set in the desired location and can create any needed holes in the enclosure to accept tunnels, stairs, or other accessory components as needed (Habitat Haven does not make holes - they are made during assembly installation to offer maximum flexibility and minimize the chance for errors). If required or desired, you can then secure your catio to the home or another structure as needed. Lead Times This item is made to order. This means the item is fabricated by hand just for you.
